I certainly do. I still have a copy of it and use it on occasion when I need to mess with partitions. I still think it's one of the best DOS partition editors around -- much easier to use and understand than something like FDISK. I'm glad to see somebody move the ball forward with it -- good luck.

I experimented with the Ranish boot manager capability way back when, but ultimately ended up going a different route (I ending up using BootIt, which I still use). I remember the Ranish web site also had a download of XOSL (Extended Operating System Loader), which was a more "complete" version of what Ranish itself provided as a boot manager.

The other thing you might want to think about adding is support for GPT.
